To: the Sasser group From: Glenn E. Perry It seems that we have so little information about my gg grandfather, Jesse Sasser, in comparison with the rich body of documentary material that has recently been made available about his brother Adin. My grandmother related to me forty years ago that Jesse was in the Union Army and died and was buried somewhere near Nashville, Tennessee. I wish I could report some heroic circumstances, but the story I got was that he did not die in battle at all. My grandmother said that one of his comrades who had been with him at the time of his death "came through here [i.e., the Knox/Laurel County area] years later" and explained that one of the local people-- a woman, as I remember--around Nashville put poison in Jesse's food (I think it was milk). I guess it was not unusual for soldiers on both sides to demand food from the local population, as I have heard stories about some of my own ancestors, including Jesse's in-laws, whose chickens were all eaten up, in that case by Confederates. Those of you who have been receiving my messages may remember that I am always interested in seeing how the legends passed on to me hold up in the face of documentary material. In a letter of April 29, 1978, Robert W. Helton provided the following information, based on his research: Jesse Sasser born Jan. 30, 1982 Laurel Co. Ky. died Feb. 14, 1863 while serving with Co. A, 1st Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, Union Army. ..." Mr. Helton repeated some of the same in a letter to someone else that Debbie Mauleshagen recently shared with me from her archives, with the additonal observation that "He [Jesse] may have been killed at Lookout Mountain in the general fighting as Triune is close by and several battles were fought there." While most of Mr. Helton's information is compatible with my oral traditions, he does seem to contradict my grandmother's account of the location of Jesse's death. My first impulse was to conclude that oral tradition had been disproved. After all, I was not sure my grandmother had much idea about geographical locations; one of her daughters married a man from Nashville, and perhaps she just more or less automatically got it in her mind that Nashville was where Jesse died too. But then I checked a map last week and discovered that Triune is just outside Nashville, not close to Chattanooga or to Lookout Mountain, as Mr. Helton suggested. I was the one with the poor knowledge of geography-- at least of a small town such as Triune. The oral tradition was correct. Of course, the man who travelled through Knox/Laurel County years later may have been wrong about everything else. For all I know, he might have been a liar. But I thought such a story might be of interest. Aside from the usual information (dates of birth, marriage, etc., which we all have anyway, this is about all I remember from the oral traditon about Jesse. I have a lot of stories about his widow, my gg grandmother, and her family that I plan eventually to share. Yes, there was one other story, which I believe to be fully discredited. My grandmother said that she thought perhaps someone had once claimed that Jesse started out to join the Confederate Army and got conscripted by the Unionists instead. She never said she believed that story. I asked Rhoda Glass about it in 1959, and she adamantly denied it. The fact that Adin also was in the the Union army points to the family's sympathies, although we all know that it was not uncommon for brothers to fight on different sides (after all, his sister Piety Humfleet's family were on the Confederate side, a subject about which I have many stories to relate). More such tidbits as I find time. Glenn ***************************************** Glenn E.

I am looking for any information on Henry Sasser. He was born June 25, 1792 in North Carolina, perhaps in Johnston or Wayne Counties. He married Nancy Kirby on March 12, 1812 in Smithfield, NC. Her father was Jesse Kirby. They later moved to Kentucky. Also any information on Henry's father William, who was married to Martha Bishop. William died in Smithfield, NC in 1815. That's as much as I have. Anything that would verify or correct my information would be appreciated. Any information about the Sassers preceding William would be apprectiated. I have conflicting stories from relatives about John Sasser and Rebecca Bond being given a land grant in Craven County in 1737. Also any information on land grants to Sassers in Johnston, Wayne, Dobbs, Duplin and Edgecombe Co. NC in 1739 would be good. Also any information on Thomas Sasser from Craven County in 1745. Thanks, Phil Sasser (Cary, NC) ------------------------------

Hi - I hate to send this post, but I need to let everyone know that we're backlogged on new lists at RootsWeb and that the backlog will probably get worse before it gets better. Right now Karen and I have been 110% booked handling the Maiser lists -- Karen's been creating lists on our existing servers, but we are rapidly exhausting our available capacity. I've crawled all over LA collecting pieces for a new server for the Maiser lists, and now I've got the new server built and burning in. However, things are about to come to a screeching halt because we have family visiting for the next four days. Anyway, here's the plan. o Next Tuesday (20 May) I'll be moving the new server into RootsWeb's Network Operations Center (which is about a half mile from here). o Next Thursday (22 May) I'll be reconfiguring all the servers in the NOC to accommodate the new server. o Next Saturday (24 May) Karen will begin creating lists again. We'll try to start creating lists sooner, but under the circumstances it's impossible to make any promises. Sorry about the delays in setting up the lists -- the Maiser catastrophe was a complete surprise to us, and we're doing our utmost to support the community. BTW, I have been asked innumerable times about the costs of lists. We're sort of making this up as we go, but I'll try to give you the same facts we have. Costs vary a little depending on the size and activity of a list, but as a planning figure it costs RootsWeb $10-15 per year in hardware and bandwidth charges to host a list. (The new server we just bought is about a $6000 machine.) Because RootsWeb is entirely supported by its users, we have to recover those costs from someone. (RootsWeb has no corporate or governmental sugar daddy; any funding deficit has to be covered out of Karen and Brian's own pockets.) In the past, we've asked listowners to cover the costs of their lists by becoming RootsWeb Sponsors. Having consulted with Larry and numerous listowners, there seems to be a general consensus that it would be better for us to provide lists for free to the listowners but to infrequently and unobtrusively ask subscribers of the lists to consider becoming RootsWeb Members or Sponsors. That is, your lists are free but once or twice a year your readers will receive a low-key invitation to become RootsWeb Members. If you've already moved lists to RootsWeb and already sent us a check, we'll be happy to refund your money. However, to the extent listowners can afford it, we'd still like to invite you to become Members or Sponsors of RootsWeb. Every dollar of income we receive is plowed back into improvements to the site that will make us better able to support you and your readers.

Here is the article about the Maiser shutdown that appeared in today's Atlanta Constitution. E-mail mishap halts genealogy service Researchers, buffs lose a valuable tool by Art Kramer STAFF WRITER A Dunwoody retailer said he unwittingly started a chain of junk e-mail that undermined one of the most popular exchanges of genealogy information on the Intenet. The shutdown is depriving tens of thousands of genealogy buffs of their most effective online research tool, said John Rigdon, national coordinator of The USGenWeb Project, a genealogy clearinghouse on the World Wide Web. The exchange, called Maiser, is a collection of mailing lists for those trading research about their ancestors. Many genealogy buffs subscribe to several lists, keyed to cities, towns, regions or family surnames. It's not unusual for a genealogy hobbyist to sift through several hundred list-sent messages daily, in search of a clue that points to a distant ancestor. Maiser, the largest collection of detailed lists with 40,000 subscribers, was forced off the Net last week after being used as a fake return address to hide the identity of a junk e-mailer. The disaster began when Sam Khuri, general manager of Benchmart Print Supply, sent a $100 money order to the post office box of a company that promised to advertise his service to 50,000 potential customers. "If I knew what they were going to do, I never would have sent the money," said Khuri, whose company recycles toner cartridges for copiers. The contractor, whose identity Khuri said he lost in a computer crash of his own, e-mailed thousands of ads touting Khuri's service last week. The junk e-mail was routed through Indiana University computers, making it appear the ads had come from the same computers that are home to the genealogy lists. The tactic of forging return addresses, making an uninvolved third party appear to be the sender of junk e-mail, is a common one. Such practices prompted several online services, including CompuServe and Prodigy, to get federal courts to help them bar junk e-mailers from their services. Larry Stephens, an Indiana University official who organized the groups as a hobby over the past three years, was forced to shut them down Friday rather than let them appear to be the source of the junk e-mail. Stephens said he couldn't risk furthering the perception that the junk e-mail was somehow connected to the university. "The loss of these mailing lists is devastating," Rigdon said. "We've lost approximately one-third of our backbone for genealogy research. About 20,000 daily users of the Internet have been effectively left with no communication." Stephens may reopen some of the regional lists this week if he can find software that can't be commandeered by junk e-mailers, but with the added security burden, he said it's unlikely he will revive the surname lists. Robert Turner, 52, a postal clerk in Huntsville, Ala., and a descendant of traveling blacksmith David Turner, bemoaned the demise of the surname lists. Turner and his wife, Winona Turner, added 4,000 ancestors to their family tree in the 30 years before they computerized their search, but 20,000 more in just 16 months online. Without the surname lists, said Turner, looking for his ancestors "will be akin to driving down a dark country road with no headlights." ------------------------------
